House For Sale £525,000
This fine example of a Victorian villa has been beautifully transformed during its latest six-year ownership. The accommodation, which is arranged over three storeys, has been comprehensively refurbished while paying particular attention to retaining and restoring its wealth of period features including the timber framed sash windows.
The part glazed front door with transom window above opens into the storm porch which leads into the entrance hallway. Beautifully maintained Minton tiled flooring flows through the entrance hallway to the rear of the home. This feature, showing its Victorian heritage, is juxtaposed with the contemporary full height radiator positioned by the entrance as well as decoration using a modern colour palette. A panelled door leads into the living room which basks in natural light thanks to its bay windows and is embellished by a stunning central ceiling rose and coving to the ceiling. This room has been combined with the original rear reception room to create a generous, open plan space for families with a part glazed door to the rear leading to the garden.
Exposed copper pipework perfectly complements the original fireplace with a traditional black finish. Elsewhere, a homely log burner has been installed with a flue liner for best performance and cleanliness. A designer WC is conveniently placed off the hallway and is styled with plain and geometric tiles and a unique wash hand basin.
The extended dining kitchen is positioned to the rear of the property and enjoys a half glazed door to the garden surrounded by fixed windows to allow natural light to flow into the room and illuminate the dining portion of the space. A range wide range of high specification shaker style wall and base units in a muted grey colour offer a variety of storage solutions. A solid timber worksurface complements the units' colour and brings out the warm tones in the marbled tiled flooring. New appliances have been recently fitted to include an integrated high level double oven and microwave, integrated dishwasher, integrated tumble drier, and fridge freezer along with a large, five ring gas hob with extractor over.
The statement staircase is painted using dark colours which complements the warm timber handrails; the galleried landing gives access to three double bedrooms. The master bedroom has been remodelled to now benefit from a luxurious dressing area accessed through an open doorway. The rear bedroom enjoys a large bay window to the rear aspect and views over the leafy garden. Each bedroom shares access to the modern but period influenced bathroom which has been refitted with luxurious sanitaryware. The room comprises a rolled top clawfoot bath with handheld shower attachment and rainfall shower head above, a wash hand basin, and WC while it is decorated with high gloss wall tiles behind the shower and large monochrome floor tiles. The fourth double bedroom occupies the entirety of the second floor and benefits from extensive eaves storage.
The traditional frontage is set behind a low level brick wall with pedestrian access granted via an opening. The front garden is styled with sleek fencing while to the side is a slabbed pathway to the gated side access leading to the rear. To the rear and side, a good sized garden is found. The tranquil outdoors has been extensively landscaped to provide the ideal relaxing and entertaining space. Directly outside the rear reception room, artificial grass has been laid leading to a slabbed patio, ideal for outdoor furniture. The remainder of the garden enjoys a wide variety of natural greenery including a manageable lawn to the rear, mature trees, and shrubbery planted into a rockery.
A pathway skirting the edge of the lawn leads to a secondary suntrap patio and large shed/workshop on hardstanding. The serene space is afforded high privacy from neighbours thanks in part to the trees and in part to tall brick walls.
